To my dear Jen and all my friends.
I am fine. We all are. I have been sitting monitoring all day glued to the TV and listening to the radio. When I got an email about Jen’s new post on her blog http://steponacrack.wordpress.com
Thank my dear dear friend for your prayers and thoughts.
I deleted the first post I wrote upon advice to tread carefully. I was told not to incit worry and panic. If anything deleting the post incited more worry then writing it. I should have known better. To my friends overseas I am sorry.
Yesterday there was an attempt coup.
These are links that Jen had on her blog,
Soldiers oust PNG defence chief amid power struggle
Mutiny Leader Demands New Papua New Guinea Gov’t
While they say it is over, in Papua New Guinea you learn early on in life to expect the unexpected. So I’ll wait to see what happens.
I sit here wondering how long my fellow country men & women will take it before they start doing instead of watching. It doesn’t take long for unrest to spread.
Two men fighting over who is the Prime Minister while a country needs to be run..total rubbish.
Thank you for your prayers. Yesterday we prayed as well over the phones, with our neighbours and with our families.
The clowns
Up on the tree sits several clowns,
bring them down,
oh bring them down,
minions sit at their feet,
catering for their every whim,
swinging from tree to tree,
at the stump,
faceless weep,
in the villages,
in the streets,
begging for their every need,
Up on the tree sits several clowns,
bring them down,
oh bring them down.
In all honesty I am so deeply angry and I think a lot of my fellow country people are as well.
May God be with you always.
Thank you again,
Maiya
Stay safe, Maiya.
Thank you Jean.
I’m glad you are ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Thank you Terri.
We are praying for you, Maiya. Peace and blessings.
Hello Heidi, thank you very much for the prayers. God bless you!
So glad that you are all right. I feared that you were forced to remove your post. I hope that people with wisdom will help bring peace.
I hope for the same as well. Thank you for popping by my friend.
I knew there was some thing up when i saw the title and then the post disappeared and then it was on the news about it.
As long as you are ok, and things are getting back to what is normal.
Hello Mr Db, yes things seem to be getting back to normal and I am fine. Thank you my dear friend for dropping by.
Maiya I was so worried about you , I thank God you are okay . Keep your head down do not be too heroic live to stand up another day. I am praying for you and your family! Your poem is perfect these monkeys are in every country and on every continent. I pray they all get sorted before it is too late! I am so glad to see you here!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hey Willow, don’t worry I flee when it comes to situations like this…I am the sort who would likes watching the action from a distance. 🙂 So no heroic feats from me. :-). Thank you for everything
I am so glad you are alright – I could not stop thinking about you and worrying. Thank you for the update. Stay safe strong woman.
Hey Shoes, thank you for caring. May God bless you always.

I will my new found friend, I took a look at your blog and had to subscribe. Thank you for the follow as well.
take care and best wishes!
Thank you Ina.

Anna :o]
No my friend, the privilege is mine. Thank you for dropping by. Peace, love and blessings to you.
So GOOD to hear you are well! I was worried. I had a friend working for Voice of America based in Africa during the Eygyptian overthrow. It was scary for him to cover as a journalist; I can not imagine living it.
Can you tell me your opinion? What do you wish for? Reading the powerful poem above, I am assuming you want new leadership BUT
Assumptions are silly things…
You are a Warrior Queen. You are an inspiration.
Take good care my friend!
XO Jen
Heyyy my friend, I do want a new leadership. I read today that the PM in charge at the moment is calling for early elections. Which I think is great, we will get to have our say.
Maiya, I’m keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers; and sending you light and love. Be safe, be well. ~ Julie
Thank you so much for caring my friend. I am blessed to have such wonderful blogging friends.
